I'm worried

[TiffPenrod]

I'm 24 weeks + 3 days and for the last couple of weeks my baby's movement has decreased quite a bit. I hardly feel her any more. Should I be concerned? I have to lay down and really try to feel her.. And even then the movements don't feel as strong as in weeks 21&22.

Thanks ladies! Sure enough 2 days later she's kicking away (:

Ya there have been 2-3 days where I wouldnt feel her but then she came full force. Seems like she was just sleeping a lot probably growing. Also you may be at the point where you have gotten use to the little movements if your busy most of the day. One night i couldnt sleep and at 3am i felt her more than ever before. Im usually asleep at that time so that could be the case. Dont worry your body will let you know if something is wrong. Cramping/leaking af/spotting.

There is no significant pattern of movement until at least 31/40 weeks, so it's quite normal for baby to seem more active on some days and less on others. Nothing to worry about at this stage

Thank you for your responses! It definitely helps ease my nerves

I just went through the same thing, I asked doc and she said its because the baby is growing. A couple days later, my daughter was kicking me 3x as hard as before.

She could be because of space restrictions. I was 9lbs 8oz when I was born and my mom says that i stopped moving as much because there wasn't much room. And when I did move she'd see my entire elbow or butt sticking out and it would hurt her skin.
